Once my friend felt better we left the possibly self proclaimed horse capital of the world and headed to downtown Lexington to look at some horses. Nope, not real ones, the painted kind. The horse parade has come to Lexington once more after a ten year absence.
After picking up our tour guide and trying to interrogate him we walked around the “city” in the heat looking at the very pretty horses. My favorite was the ocean themed one. Pictured above with my friend. We also stumbled upon this fun costume store where we all played for awhile with masks and other fun finds. Such a random unknown treasure. We then went to Thoroughbred park, took some pictures, and had a very yummy burger at Sawyers.
Our next stop would have been the Kentucky Horse Park however we felt the price to be a bit much for the day. Instead we headed to The Woodford Reserve Bourbon Distillery. When in KY.
This tour was GREAT! My friends who have been before learned new stuff and we got to see some unique activity, like the barrel rolling and bottling process. Although not the biggest fan of Bourbon it was great to see such a unique, historic, and informative National Landmark. Not to mention the free Bourbon Balls and shot plas plus the option to custom select a barrel for only $10,000.
We then headed back to the house to do some good ole KY porch sitting and watch the rain. Next was my favorite pizza followed by a Snickers birthday cake made by my friend for who grandpa, who is s cute. The cake was amazing and I think she could go into business.
We ended the night by seeing a castle, the town on Versailles (where parts of the movie Elizabeth Town was shot), and star gazing at the meteor shower till the wee hours of the morning. Beautiful.
